Actually, you hit the nail right on the head. As a free form Science Fiction writer I have a hell of a lot at stake when it comes to foiling the advocates of censorship, as does every other writer and artist in this fandom, whether they have totalitarian characters or not.
None of us are going to sit still for being told we can't have totalitarian characters in a story that calls for them. No one's going to sit still for being told they have to write WW2 stories without Nazis.
Frankly, the right to have military type furs in a story is not my favorite thing to defend, but if we allow that to be taken away just because somebody doesn't like it, where could we expect it to stop? No doubt it would not stop at all until everything we could possibly have written about would have been eliminated.
So, yeah, it's a separate issue from Foxler and 2 Gryphon. But if they're going to go after the writers, it's not a battle I could avoid if I wanted to. And I don't particularly want to. I don't think a Furry writer worth his salt would want to miss a chance to fight back against censorship.
